"Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening (1944) is a surrealist painting by Salvador Dalí. A short, alternate title for the painting is Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee. It was painted in 1944, while Dalí and his wife, Gala, were living in America. In this ""hand-painted dream photograph"", as Dalí generally called his paintings, there is a seascape of distant horizons and calm waters, perhaps Port Lligat, amidst which Gala is the subject of"

These images have been described as centering ""on a stock of clearly defined subjects which he carefully extracts one by one from their context"", as for instance with the photograph of an arm that filled an entire exhibition hall in the Kunsthalle Basel in 1983. His work has been praised for its ""hermeticism and poetic depth"", characterized as that of a ""hyperrealist dreamer"" and placed in the tradition of Tanizaki Junichiro and Gustave Courbet, whom Burkhard admired; his photographic reflections on the painter's work were made part of the great Courbet exposition of"

Working from a gridded photograph, he builds his images by applying one careful stroke after another in multi-colors or grayscale. He works methodically, starting his loose but regular grid from the left hand corner of the canvas. His works are generally larger than life and highly focused.

However, feeling pressed by others' perception that he was typecast, he released a series of photographs of his children in the 1980s. Perhaps his most expensive and memorable prints are the ""Prisoner's Dream"" series of five photographs. At the centre of the series is Mount Taranaki. This picture is special due to its long exposure time of over five hours. This was caused by Aberhart's absence to take a 'nap', but he didn't awaken until a while later.

He stated that he selected subjects in the same fashion as he would for paintings and posed them in a way that represent “naturalness of life as I see it.” Once the prints were developed, he would “paint on them with great care, blot out, put in, get all the art and suggestion I can into them. Sometimes I paint over almost the entire surface… if you go about it in the right way you can get at realities and the heart of things as you"

To the critic Arsène Alexandre, he described his frequent visits to the Jardin des Plantes: ""When I go into the glass houses and I see the strange plants of exotic lands, it seems to me that I enter into a dream."" Along with his exotic scenes there was a concurrent output of smaller topographical images of the city and its suburbs. He claimed to have invented a new genre of ""portrait landscape"", which he achieved by starting a painting with a specific view, such as a favourite part of the city, and then"

His life is a never-ending journey which leads him from one waking dream to another: solitary quest of the transparent and fugitive messages of the world. He has received a number of awards and grants for his work, among them a national grant for research and creation (for a year in the United States) and a Leonardo da Vinci grant (for a project in Japan). His photographs have been shown in museums and galleries in Europe and the United States and are"
"During this period, he encountered works of C.G. Jung, and began to analyze his dreams. He and his wife entered Jungian analysis with Marie-Louise von Franz. Over the next 35 years, he collected and worked on over 3,400 of his dreams, discussing them with von Franz and corresponding with Jung himself. As he interpreted them, his dreams often reflected images of himself as stultified by artistic tradition, and urged him to break with his previous stylistic constraints. In 1956, he achieved an artistic breakthrough with his painting ""The World's Wound"", the first of a long series of works painted directly"

For international collectors of contemporary art, Kudditji quickly became an obvious addition.

His eye caught the picturesque features of the architecture, and his hand recorded them with skill. The composition of his drawings was exquisitely natural; their colour exhibited ""the truest and happiest association in sun and shade""; the picturesque remnants of ancient architecture were rendered with the happiest breadth and largeness, with the heartiest perception and enjoyment of their time-worn ruggedness; and the solemnity of great cathedrals was brought out with striking effect.

In 1978 the art historian Mahonri Sharp Young wrote of him that ""Everything came to him; all his pictures sold, he won all the prizes...the rich delighted to honor him, and his wives were glamorous."" While he is primarily recognized for his coastal scenes, he also painted landscapes, mountain scenes and even the arid desert. His best known paintings were rugged coastal scenes of Maine, Cornwall, Brittany and the Monterey peninsula in California.

His profound knowledge of art techniques and his masterly draughtsmanship enabled him to abide until the very end of his life by this principle of immediacy, partly inspired by Chinese brush painting. It was a principle he shared with his close friend Henri Cartier-Bresson, to whose ""instant décisif"" it was analogous. He drew and painted exclusively from life, never from memory or photograph, aiming to depict the truth of what lay before his eyes, at that moment. He is noted for his"

Throughout his artistic career, landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and religious compositions bore his personal artistic signature of graded tones and colours with free line-work. This was evident in his gouaches, watercolors, oils, and drawings. In 1930 on a trip to Paris, he painted one of his best pictures ""Place de Tertre"", using a limited colour palette, and creating a modern sense of space. In the 1950s and 1960s he painted his summer travel series (Zadar, Vrbnik, Kvarner, Šipan).

Blair Laing wrote in his book ""Memoirs of an Art Dealer"", 1979:He painted spectacular snow scenes in which the light seems to come from behind the canvas and glow.

The result and effect are quiet and understated accounts of memories revisited, reassessed, and repeatedly asserted through this labor-intensive process.

Wawro worked in the unusual medium of wax oil crayon, specialising in landscapes and seascapes that were acclaimed for their highly detailed and dramatic images of intense depth and colour. He used no models, but drew from images seen only once, such as in books or on television; his phenomenal memory enabled him to recall where he drew each picture and to date it precisely in his mind. Although possessing perfect recall, he often added his own touches to the images. He"

However, he painted also the spring time, the flowered trees, the blue and clear heavens with lights clouds. In fact, his palette was very large, and very various, evolving during the years, and his paintings can be very"

In his books ""Malerei, Photographie, Film"" of 1925 and ""The New Vision, from Material to Architecture"", of 1932, he coined the term Neues Sehen (New Vision) for his belief that the camera could create a whole new way of seeing the outside world that the human eye could not. This theory encapsulates his approach to his art and teaching. He was the first interwar artist to suggest the use of scientific equipment, the telescope, microscope and radiography in the making of art."

He is supposed to have said ""To make a painting, all you need to do is to take some paints, draw some lines, and fill the rest up with feelings.""

The techniques he employed in his underground studio off Hanover Square, Westminster were stated to be an effort to recreate the style and results of artists he admired, such as Titian, Rembrandt and Velazquez. Painting by candlelight, using only three colours on his pallet and using special black canvas, Raine was able to complete a portrait in five hours, meaning the sitter would only need to visit his studio on one occasion.

In his late period, from 1943 on, possibly facing a psychological crisis as he turned 50, he returned to the preoccupations of the early work, incorporating the painting skills he had mastered during his middle period (which he eventually saw as a ""diversion"" from his true path), and developed large, hallucinatory renditions of nature captured in swirling strokes, heightened colors and exaggerated forms.
